Chinese Type 53

[milsurp2.0]

I'ev had one T53 over the years, got it from omega weapons systems in arizona for cheap, it had maybe 30% bluing but the bore was sharp and shiny and the bayonet was sharpened to a point. I think i sold it to another OSA member a few years ago.

Sounds like mine.

The stock on mine was lighter.

Might have had russian wood on it. That chu wood usually soaks everything up and turns dark with little use. I have a bringback 53 that has a crack at the tang/wrist area. I want an M44 stock to shoot it in but they are so light and hard to darken. Not to mention 80 bucks!
